Before you rank it

• →The state-quota seat needs Tamil Nadu domicile — the certificate format the state accepts. Check yours in the eligibility checker.
• →Category certificates differ by route: central OBC-NCL format for MCC's AIQ, the state's own format for state counselling. One certificate rarely serves both.
• →This seat can carry a service bond — read it as part of the price, not fine print.
• →Reporting is in person with originals — no proxy. Keep a signed receipt for every document handed over.

What the numbers can't tell you — ask a senior

Five questions worth one phone call before this college goes high on your list. Current students answer these honestly; brochures don't.

• ?Hostel reality — rooms per student, mess quality, and whether first-years actually get a seat or hunt for PGs.
• ?Patient load — clinical exposure is the education. A packed OPD teaches more than a famous name with an empty ward.
• ?Internship stipend — the sanctioned amount and whether it is actually paid on time. Amounts differ by state and college type.
• ?Bond enforcement — is the service bond genuinely enforced here, and how are postings allotted? Seniors know the practice, not just the order.
• ?Faculty presence — vacancies in key departments show up in NMC inspection reports and in seniors' complaints long before rankings move.
